ENERGY SPECTRUM SERIES
The Energy-Spectrum Series deals with color - space and the feeling of entering into the painting (another world). Every color gives off a different emotion as does the placement of the color in juxtaposition to the vibration. The Spectrum Series is a dance with color - space and depth. The Triptych is a hyper snapshot of Times Square - dealing with the shapes - colors and movement. A glimpse up close of the incredible beauty in the stillness surrounded by chaos.

CHROME REFLECTIONS SERIES
Inspired by light and architecture, the Chrome Reflection pieces are structured to reflect, absorb and interact with light and space whilst retaining a sense of functionality. Art becomes part of people's existence as the interaction with the pieces create a new sensory experience. In observing the reflection of color in the chrome there is also a sense or a feeling of infinity. Unifying art and functionality, the Chrome Reflections series is the birth of a new series of unique art-to fully encompass Francis' vision of art as an aspect of life that one fully experiences.
